Paul’s Defense before the Jerusalem Mob
37 As he was about to be brought into the barracks, Paul said to the commander, “Am I allowed to say something to you?”
He replied, “Do you know Greek? 38 Aren’t you the Egyptian who raised a rebellion some time ago and led 4,000 Assassins[a][b] into the wilderness?”(A)
39 Paul said, “I am a Jewish man from Tarsus of Cilicia,(B) a citizen of an important city.[c] Now I ask you, let me speak to the people.”
